The Bethesda Blog announces Hearthfire, a DLC pack coming to the Xbox 360 edition of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on September 4th. The announcement does not mention other platforms, but this and Dawnguard were both announced as 30-day Xbox exclusives, so this is not unexpected. This short trailer accompanies this announcement:

With Skyrim’s newest game add-on, Hearthfire, you can purchase land and build your own home from the ground up – from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with an armory, alchemy laboratory, stable, garden, and more. Use all-new tools like the drafting table and carpenter’s workbench to transform quarried stone, clay, and sawn logs into structures and furnishings. Even transform your house into a home by adopting children.

Hearthfire releases on Xbox LIVE next week (September 4th) for 400 Microsoft Points.

Really wishing Skyrim would get an actual expansion... I just played Dawnguard and while the Vale was fine, the Soul Cairn (one of the only two new zones in Dawnguard) was fucking awful. Half of Dawnguard has you questing through the same-old Skyrim, and since I was a Dawnguard Mage I didn't even get to use the new skill trees. All I got was a crossbow, and I was pretty pissed the game's sole meaningful companion is a vampire regardless of whether you fight for or against the vampires.
